Welcome, welcome to Caraval — Stephanie Garber's sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game.
Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful — and cruel — father. Now Scarlett's father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the faraway once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.
But this year Scarlett's long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval's mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season's Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.
Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

Absolutely loved everything about this book! I can definitely reread this in the future and would totally recommend to anyone who love magic, adventure, love, villains and more.
This book really surprised me! It is delightful! Highly recommend it!
I loved this book. This was a reread for me.
Great ride, quick read. I loved not being able to tell what was real and what wasn’t. I didn’t see any of the twists coming (which I never do) and I loved the mystery surrounding Legend and his Caraval
Just as magical as the first time I read it!
Realmente 3.5 estrellas. la verdad es que es una relectura y esta vez me ha gustado un pcoo menos
Very nice voice to listen to next to a head turning story which makes you doubt everything that’s going on
This queen walked. And we STAN. I will now bow to the queen that we have all been waiting for.
This book was so entertaining! It kept me on my toes the whole time. There were twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting! The reader was also amazing ! I couldn’t have asked for anything better
It was a very entertaining story. What I didn't like it was the way the book was written. Similes and metaphors were a bit weird! Some kind of understandable. But I enjoyed it anyway.
This was my second read of the book, and I loved it just as much as I did the first time around.
Fantastic book loved it.Its full of love and magic!!!Love it
Marvelous experience. Enjoyable, to say the least. Finished on november 5 2019.
I love a good character driven plot.
Was this book just that? No.
Did this book have character development? No.
Did this book having a wondrous setting? Yes.
Was there lots of flowery detail? Yes
Oh and yes, that were pretty dresses.
After hearing so many people in the YA community recommend this book, I gave it a try and it definitely did not live up to the hype. If you are new to YA fantasy give it a try but, if this is your favorite genre, skip it.

DNF’d at Chapter 15. I couldn’t get into the story, it was a bit messy. The narrator made the lead character appear very annoying to me.
All I can say is WOW!! Mind blowing! This book did not let me down! Stephanie Garber put a lot of heart and thought into this book. I felt like I was right there with Scarlett, Tella, and the rest of the cast for "Caraval"
This story starts with Scarlett as a child writing letters to Legend asking for him to bring Caraval close to where she and her sister, Tella, live. Tella has always loved the game of Caraval, and well, Scarlett loves her sister and wants to see her sister happy.
When a mysterious guy shows up and finds out about them getting a gift from Legend to attend Caraval, Julian could not wait to help the girls out, only because he wanted to be selfish and go to the game himself. Bt their father finds him down stairs and making a run for their lives, Scarlett gets knocked out and ends up on the island where Caraval is.
Inside Caraval, there are so many twist and turns, that you are not sure what is real and what is not real. Is the game playing games with them or is it only feeding off of fear. When Scarlett finds out the game includes finding her sister and her fear only increased her need to find Tella, then the games becomes deadly. Scarlett soon questions if Julian is there to help her or destroy her. She doesn't know what is real in the world of Caraval.
The journey this book to me on was amazing. I was wishing I was there to play the game.
The question of this game is who is Legend? Who is Julian? Where is Tella? What is the secret of this game?
A must read!
